Hi Lou,
Drop me a PM or text as I have a friend who has two Alfa based Novamotors and has recently had them rebuilt - one after an over rev and another after a holed piston - common occurrence in restricted F3 motors.
Hope all's well?

Re: 1974 Alfasud Trofeo
I might see if I can join a HRDC race next year. Yes, you should Tim. I couldn't get to all this year due to my FF commitments but the atmosphere in the paddock and the racing is brilliant. The cars are gorgeous throughout the grid, beautifully prepared and driven by enthusiasts. You'll do really w...

Re: 1974 Alfasud Trofeo
Flywheel bhp but taken from rolling road session and corrected. I think 100BHP per litre is nothing unusual and I should guess that my 8 valve 1800 engine is putting out 170-180 bhp.

Re: 1974 Alfasud Trofeo
No, it's still 1286cc 8 valve. Exactly to the spec that the car was built to all those years ago. Approx 120bhp at 8500rpm.rsfruitbat wrote:Very impressive.
Is it a 1400?

Re: 1974 Alfasud Trofeo
All, Castle Combe Classic was a superb event and the Alfa Challenge race was brilliant fun. It was great to not only have Simon come down to watch, support and video what was going on but also knowing that Nicolino Moffa and Franco Marinierra were 'watching' in Campobasso, Italy. So, all 4 owners of...

Hi All, Does anyone have a pair of front struts for an Alfa 33 please. Really just need the basic tubes, not worried if springs/pans/pan bearings/shocks are knackered as they'll be going to Leda to have some of their racing inserts and adjustable spring pans fitted.

Thanks Bryan, I was, of course referring to the man who has prepared my car over the years - countless starts, countless laps at 8000 RPM and never so much as a miss fire in nearly 30 years.

The old club circuit at Silverstone with you all heading into Backetts. You can see the pit lane entry lines for when the GP was being used. Date? 1988?

Nualfaman, your photos are definitely Cadwell and taken in March 1990 as I remember it was the first race of the year and was on the short circuit using a hairpin at the bottom of the mountain. It was my first race in my green racing Sud after it had been re-prepared by Tom at BLS. Happy days! Cheer...
